This is the structure of DNA.
What is a twisted ladder shape or double helix?
300
Does most of the work of a cell while making up much of the cell's structure.
What are proteins?
300
This DNA structure is made up of a pair of bases.
What are the rungs of the ladder?
300
Bases are used for a new strand of DNA in this step.
What is the second step of DNA replication?
300
The most common type of mutation where a base replaces another base in a piece of DNA.

Complementary nucleotides are added to the bases that are exposed in this step.
What is the third step of DNA replication?
400
These damage DNA, are physical and chemical agents, and examples of these are ultraviolet lights and the chemicals in cigarette smoke.
